As titled really,whats the difference between the Seagate 7200.10 and 7200.09 hard drives?I can get a 320gb 7200.10 for the same price as the 400gb 7200.09 so I'm asking is there any difference,if not I go for the larger capacity one.

Thanks

Thats another thing at the moment I have a Seagate 7200.07 160gb hard drive, I'm not sure whether to use the new drive as storage or main one. How much faster would my system be if I bought and used the 7200.10 as main hard drive?

I guess I will probably go for the 7200.10 then and use it as a main drive so that my system will be a bit faster then. Will RAID be needed if I just use one as storage for movies,music,etc and one as main hard drive?

Plunged for the 320gb 7200.10 so hopefully I get one thats noisy as my PC is noisy enough as it is!

OcUK just have the 500gb 7200.10 for 93.99 quid!!!

Yeah, I wanted to get that but I don't have enough money atm,with me having driving lessons and all that. I got the 320gb for £60 so its not so bad.

I will probs be regretting it later on tbh when my 320gb is running low

Image editing does take a lot of hard drive space! And hopefully will be doing an architecture course in Uni next year. That probs take up even more hard drive space!

As I'm not the type to back up all my files buying a 500gb one wouldn't be such a good idea as if it goes wrong I will lose all my files but if I got smaller hard drives I won't lose nearly everything!

I have 2 x Seagate 200GB SATA 7200.7s, and also a couple of the 320GB Seagate SATA 7200.10s, I find that the 7200.10s are (depending upon cont.) 10-13MB/s faster (Average read in HD Tach) than the 7200.7s.

Thats not bad at all, looking forward to getting mine,my PC is in need of a reformat anyways!

Thanks for help everyone.
